Top Ten Pre Amp Solid State of all time?


Ok,we have all had fun with this top ten thread. Naturally the Pre Amp is next.Just a wealth of information has poured forth in Top Ten Tuners,and Top Ten Amps,tube or solid state. To start this thread I vote for the Threshold FET 2. Have owned PS Audio,ARC,NAD,but keep going back to the Threshold FET 2. Ok your turn nominate your favorite Pre Amp of all time.

The Pass Labs XO, the Classe Omega and the Threshold FET 10 are good candidates for top ten statis....although I do still favor tubes for pre-amps....perhaps I have a sweet tooth?
The Spectral DMC-10. I've owned one since 1985 and still have it. One of the best built, best sounding preamps of all time. Phono section is as good as the best around. Loved it so much, only recently replaced it with a Spectral DMC 20 II, which should last for a long, long time too! One may be had at a bargain price of around $1000.00, if you can find an owner that will part with it!!
I would add 'The Limited Edition' manufactured by Gryphon in Denmark, very often abbreviated as 'LE'. It has an excellent phono section, a product which is excel at Gryphon before they produce the preamp and amplifier. 'LE' only produced 100 sets for worldwide distribution and hence its name, 'Limited Edition'. The price for a good versin of 'LE' should be around usd3,500..
